X41 Tablet SD Card speed

Does anybody know how fast the SD card reader on this is? I am about to purchase a 2GB 150x SD card so that I can run it with ReadyBoost on Vista, but have read that some people with Fujitsu tablets having too slow of a card reader for it to work regardless of the card's actual speed. Any insight on...

I was also led to believe that there would not be an SXGA+ screen. I was looking at the M400's just because i would like a finer resolution.

I originally purchased an X31 and used it happily for about 6 months, then started to yearn for a bit more power and game capability so I switched over to the T41p which I was also happy with. I appreciated the higher resolution screen and the more powerful graphics chipset. However, being a student...

hmm... does that mean that all the current tablet users are just writing on the screen itself? That is what I am doing, and it seems to not leave any scratches, but feedback on long term tablet users would be appreciate.d

X41 Tablet Screen protector?

Hi,

Is anybody using any sort of plastic screen film to protect the screen from scratches due to writing? I did a search and haven't come up with any results.

I was also thinking that. I was wondering if he was using any sort of program that had safety nets. I'd hate to have one of the chips burn out and have to shell out all the cash for a new motherboard since the gpu is integrated into it.

When using the mini dock with the t41p, are the 4 usb 2.0 ports discrete from one another? i.e. can all 4 ports run at the 400mbs, or is it divided up (i.e. 4 devices = 100mbs each)? Anybody have any info on this?

is your model a refurbished unit? I wonder if it has something to do with that. when i do a general search for my hardware 2373-xtx, it doesn't even show up. I am curious if the software installer goes by that specific number and perhaps ours does not match the installers database.
